Hi,
As can be seen in the attachments, the screen has gone cloudy on the top right part over the last month. Its more prominent on dark backgrounds than light ones. Also its spreading in size slowly. What seems to be the issue and how to recitfy?
MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11
To determine if the built-in Display is the problem you can connect an external display and enable mirroring. If the problem only shows up on the built-in display, then the built-in display is defective. Otherwise you have a Logic Board issue or a software issue.
To me it looks like an LCD Panel issue with the built-in display.

If it shows up in a screenshot, then it would indicate a software issue or possibly a GPU issue, but that screenshot isn't typical for a GPU failure. The 15" & 17" models are known to have GPU issues (the 13" models are not affected). I have seen LCD issues that appear as a cloudy spot that can grow, but I've never seen a software or GPU issue do this so I'm not sure what it could be. Are you sure it isn't part of an image on the Desktop or an app?
Does it show up when you run the Apple Diagnostics, or on the Apple boot picker menu when Option Booting, or when in Internet Recovery Mode (Command + Option + R)?
Hi, sorry for dropping off mid week. Yes it shows in all the options you mentioned. I also tried option from here - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201255 and the cloudiness still shows.
While I do screenshare on zoom other participants are not able to see it though and strangely enough its now gone from screenshots as well. Probably this now points towards the screen being faulty? But I am not sure what could have caused this..i did sanitize my screen sometime back with a santizier, not sure if that has something to do with it.
Thanks for your reply. The first image is a screenshot (black background), if it were to be actually a LCD panel issue then it should not have appeared in the screenshot? I mean if its external LCD issue then taking a screenshot should not show it I believe? Which leads me to think its a software issue.
It is an issue with the LCD Panel. The LCD Panel or the Display Assembly needs to be replaced.
